Scouts’ Day is observed in Argentina every September 5. This day celebrates the contributions of the Scout movement to the development of young people and society. The origins of Scouting in Argentina date back to 1909 when Anglo-Argentine students met Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement. The official establishment of the Scouting movement in the country occurred in 1912, led by Francisco Moreno after the Spanish translation of Baden-Powell’s handbook, "Scouting for Boys." In 1917, the Argentine Boy Scout Association was recognized as a national institution by President Hipólito Yrigoyen. Currently, the largest Scout organization is Scouts de Argentina, formed from a merger in 1996, which focuses on informal education for over 75,000 members aged 7 to 21. On Scouts’ Day, Scouts engage in various charity events, such as collecting food for the homeless or donations for children’s hospitals.
